Yay cloud :-D
(i don't see why cloud matters, here though it's more about modern
bandwidth and storage space)

Most likely since nobody cared enough and pushed it. (both, pushed in
the tree and pushed as in making people aware)

Unfortunately the patch can't make it in 5.5. It changes the size and
offsets in the sapi globals which breaks binary compatibility which we
can't do in a dot release. Has to be 5.6/PHP.next.

I haven't looked close enough to comment on the patch itself.
